I have changed the settings for the Create Account Welcome email, but for some unknown reason, the original email is still being sent through.

When I first set up the store in 2006 (still on v1.2.7), customer’s received an email with the following;

Due to the increased costs of freight, I have deactivated the gift vouchers and have changed my free shipping setup, however the above message is still being sent out.

The Developer’s Tool Kit can’t seem to find any of the followind text in Admin/Catalog saying

Re: Create Account Email issue

Are you using the templates overrides system? If so are you sure you overwrote the proper file?

I know I had the same problem when I first started and I think I have even made this mistake a time or two. What happens when you you click on tools and welcome email what shows up?

Please check this and get back to us if there is a problem.

Good luck

Sincerely,

Re: Create Account Email issue

Thanks for replying... when you say Tools, do you mean Developer's Tool Kit?

If not, please point me in the right direction.

I do have the Zen Cart book by Goh, however it's not helping me with this issue.

Logged in as admin under where is says "admin home" tools - welcome email. Click on that and it will show you the file that is currently being sent out.

Sincerely,

If your preview is correct, but it is not the one going out, rename the original one in the default folder to something like, filename.orig or today's date or something. Then see if it will send out. If it does not, then you have a file or override problem. If it does send out, then you will need to do nothing else.

Good luck
